Triplets

Triplets is a game where players attempt to form patterns using the symbols on hexagonal tiles.

Each tile has one, two, or three symbols in one of three different colors and one of three different shapes. A triplet is formed with three tiles where each attribute is either all the same or all different.

The tiles must be played in a way that forms a honeycomb lattice of overlapping rings. To score a triplet, the three tiles must be on a single ring of hexagons, and each triplet is scored by placing a marker in the open center of the ring. Multiple triplets can be formed on a single ring, and each tile is part of three rings, allowing for multiple scoring opportunities on each turn. The player scoring the most triplets wins the game.

Triplets is a game that will twist your brain, but stretch your visual perception and pattern matching skills at the same time.

Triplets won the 2010 KublaCon Game Design Contest.
